ENERGYPARENTING(R) is the Antidote to the ADHD/Ritalin Epidemic

December 2, 2008

GILBERT, Ariz., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ — ENERGYPARENTING(R) is a proven
antidote to the disorder-diagnosis-drug trend threatening our kids. It is a
new way to parent that upends existing parenting models by transforming
challenging children without the need for medication.

Current parenting models are failing American parents and resulting in an
epidemic of more and younger children being given narcotic-strength medication
to control their behavior.

Our experience shows that in 97% of the cases, it’s a needless and brutal
toll on the family’s emotional, financial and relational wellbeing because
ENERGYPARENTING(R) is an alternative that works.

“The problem isn’t the children or the parents,” says family therapist

Howard Glasser, cofounder of ENERGYPARENTING(R) and creator of the Nurtured
Heart Approach(TM). “Challenging children simply discover that they get more
intense relationship when they misbehave than when they don’t. Current wisdom
has parents being present in juicier ways when things are going wrong.
Challenging children are drawn to this aliveness, so they repeat and escalate
the behaviors that will sustain it.”

The ENERGYPARENTING(R) model teaches parents how to create strong
relationship with their challenging children when things are going right.
Parents learn ENERGYPARENTING(R) in five easy online lessons that explain the
principles and techniques to make the 180-degree energy shift.

“The result of ENERGYPARENTING(R),” Glasser says, “is that symptoms of
disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder typically disappear
within weeks because the parental energy intervention transforms the child to
be willing and able to use his or her intensity to achieve extraordinary
success.”

While developed for challenging children, all children — difficult or not
– flourish when raised with ENERGYPARENTING(R).
